RESUMEN
Knee osteoarthritis is a common disease, and also one of the acupuncture advantage treatment disease. Usually the clinicians choose local acupoints based on the characteristics of tendon bone and joint. After a long-term clinical practice, we found that the curative effect could be better if we additionally combine with the abdominal acupoints. We regard this as the breakthrough point to explore the theoretical origin and found that the curative effect of taking the “biao”or“jie” acupoints to treat disease of the limbs is better than just taking the acupoints according to channel tendon therapy. In this paper, we started discussing the basic meaning of “biao”“ben”“gen”“jie”,then studied the relationship between the vertical connection of“biao”“jie” with blood lifting in disease and qi jie playing as a channel in theory. Comparing with clinical report , I proposed the view which is to choose the points of “biao”“ben”to treat limbs disease. This view enriches the theory of acupoints of the treatment of pain diseases, and expends the clinical acupoints in the treatment of osteoarticular diseases.
